If this happens to you such as whether or not you locked your door before a trip do something novel while doing it.

Standing on one foot, or using your non-dominate hand (or at the end for something like brushing your teeth).

Helps solidify that you’ve done it

Doesn’t matter still gotta click lock sixteen times on the car key before it’s locked. That’s because the car key actually locks the car in small increments, so if you press the button only once it’s only somewhat locked. X

I usually try to audibly confirm it with the date. Makes those, “Did I lock my door or am I just remembering another day?” moments less likely to cause me anxiety.

This only works if you don’t have ADHD.

I question myself every time I’m outside 🤷

Interesting idea. I’ll try it tomorrow.

I hate being halfway to work in the morning and having to go back because I couldn’t remember shutting my apartment door.

It drives me absolutely insane.
